I would love to go nuts and just buy some of all of them, and a hand tied "mop", (simply because they are so beautiful). Same thing for calligraphy brushes. They are so beautiful, with their porcelain ink grinding wells and silk lined boxes.
I've found that I can't paint with the brisle brushes, even though I would like to, due to my lack of strength in my shoulder. Ilaria, the cat's tongue sound like something I might like. And the long filbert must be fun to work with. I need to loosen up, I'm getting way too anal due to this d*** injury, and I believe that adding some different brushes would help.
I long to create that "juicy color" and brushwork that I love so much. I realize that buying the right brush is not going to magically change my style, but my brushes were too small, and almost all brights. A swooshy brush might help.
Kim, I checked out Trekell brushes and they are very reasonable, my next order will be from them. I think I'll get some BIG filberts!
Jeff, I'm so happy to see you painting finally; Janice looks beautiful. I really think you could add a couple filberts to your list of supplies. Check out the Trekell site, they really are affordable. If they are okay for Bill Whitaker and Kim, I would not hesitate to buy them myself.
